1.5 About PROFIBUS DP V1
By operating the adjustable frequency drive via a network you can reduce the capital cost of your system, communicate faster and more efficiently, and enjoy
an easier user interface.
Using PROFIBUS DP V1 also guarantees you a product which has wide compatibility, a high level of availability and support, and which will be compatible with
future versions. 10.
With the DCT 10 Drive Control Tool software, you can control and configure your system simultaneously, and monitor the entire system more effectively for
faster diagnostics, and better preventive maintenance. Simplify commissioning, maintenance and documentation using DCT 10 Drive Control Tool software.
